Mayhem

I made a mess on Sunday! I had two small ornaments to finish. This involved pulling out the bins of fabric, trim, stuffing and interfacing.﻿

I took over the kitchen table with sewing stuff.

I took over the counter top with the ironing stuff. I like to iron craft things on my washable white craft towels instead of the ironing board.

It was glorious mayhem! I was having so much fun I opened a bottle of sweet red wine, poured it in a pitcher, added a can of tropical fruit and some ginger ale. This is tasty over ice in a fancy wineglass.

In fact, it was so tasty I drank the whole pitcher all by myself! Whoops! No, the ornaments came out just fine. All that alcohol only helped me loosen up my creativity! The ornaments are being mailed to their new owners so I will show them to you very soon.

Hi Sharon,So sorry I haven't visited your blog in a while but I am back. :)What a fun way to work on a project with a pitcher of wine! VBGThat wins my vote! :)Can't wait to see what you created.HugsOh I just uploaded some of the photos from my vacation in Spain. Hope you have some time to visit my blog and have a look. Please leave a comment. :)I still have more to upload but will do that a few days from now. Then have New Art to show too. :)

LOL Sharon! I was sure you were going to say you spilled the wine on your stitching!So glad that wasn't the case!I am glad to hear that you enjoyed yourself while doing the finishing. I bet they came out great!Looking forward to seeing them.

Ginger Ale, wine and fruit juice...that sounds light and cool, something great and refreshing for this hot summer weather...but the whole pitcher :) I guess if it loosened you up so that you could finish ornaments, then it was definitely a good thing! Enjoy life!

OMG, that is just sooo funny! Really, the entire pitcher?! I'm afraid my entire creativity along with my ability to speak and walk would have gone right out the window! I must say though that I've never heard of this particular concoction and I'm eager to try it out.I also had the thoughts that perhaps you'd spilled the drink on your ornies.

Sounds like fun Sharon, except for the wine part. I wish I could sew, but I've never been able to sew a straight line. Sigh... Can't wait to see the ornies though. I bet they're beautiful!! BTW, how did you change your blog to saying amicable purrs from comments? I'd love to do that.

That is what my whole sewing room looks like right now! So glad you didn't spill that red wine on your stitching!I tried mixing margaritas with The Beast (the machine I had before my Bernina) It didn't work out well. :)
